Historic cemeteries contain information on the county’s social, cultural, and historic heritage. Cemeteries provide genealogical data and information on the history of a particular place, religious practice, and lifestyle. They also display the folk art of tombstone carving and preserve the natural features of the landscape. Regrettably, many cemeteries-especially family burial plots-have been abandoned and suffer from neglect. This manual provides information on the types of cemeteries present in Prince George’s County, why it is important to preserve cemeteries, how to develop a cemetery preservation plan, where to look for funding, and how to research and survey historic cemeteries. Guidance is offered on basic preservation techniques, including initial clean-up, regular maintenance, gravestone cleaning, repairs, resetting gravestones, and selecting a skilled conservator. The appendices provide a glossary of terms commonly used in cemetery research, survey, and preservation, how to identify cemetery features, sample survey forms, cemetery laws, and a bibliography. Through this manual, M-NCPPC hopes to bolster local cemetery preservation efforts and generate additional support for the protection of historic burial grounds.

The challenge for retail in Prince George’s County pertains to quality more so than quantity. On the surface, the County is not significantly over-retailed relative to the national or regional average retail square feet (SF) per person, but the average productivity (sales per square foot) of that retail space is less than in other comparable counties in the Washington-Baltimore region. New retail centers built since 2006 have demonstrated strong market absorption, but are often cannibalizing the tenants of older shopping centers which show negative net absorption during the same time period. This creates an environment where lower quality tenants can over achieve and locate in better space than they typically would occupy. Local-serving retail centers in Prince George’s County display this phenomenon most often: many community centers contain tenants that would be more appropriately located in neighborhood centers, and neighborhood centers contain tenants that would be more appropriate for unanchored convenience/in-line retail.
